Re: Apterites who have yet to appear on Countdown

I'm not off in September. I haven't been very clear... I originally was looking for a filming date when I was off. I sent through all of my holidays right through to September 2018 (although I'm back in from around the 20th of August), namely the mid terms and Summer etc. They weren't filming any of...

Re: Best ways to improve your Countdowning skills...

I found this link somewhere: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1e1bgGSrwTGDdyHbtJJDRNVOfdnPiZqEQs4Y9ATWs0SU/mobilepresent?slide=id.p3 I can't remember where I got it, so can't give full credit. I haven't properly used it at all, but it looks great! I don't think I'm disciplined enough to be hon...

Re: Apterites who have yet to appear on Countdown

I do, although this I imagine I'm a slightly unique case! I passed my audition in October. I'm a teacher though and, whilst my holidays are amazing, it's tricky to take time off work. I had a protracted email exchange with one of the researchers, which confirmed that they aren't filming during any o...

Re: Apterites who have yet to appear on Countdown

I've only been on Apterous a few months, but I'm filming in May (I imagine Series 77?). Any news of other people filming for that series? (who do I hope to avoid!)

Re: Welcome! - Post here first

Hello All, New to here. Been on Apterous a few months. Passed a CD audition in October. I am a teacher in Ireland though and my (amazing, but) inflexible holidays mean I have no idea when I'll be filming. None of my available dates up to the end of the Summer suit, so it could be a long time before ...
